i have found (and am eating) the PERFECT food.

Last night, after having cravings for it for weeks, I finally made my most favoritest food in the whole wide world: corn and black bean salsa. Oh man. That stuff is SO GOOD. Usually, I make an entire batch and eat it all by myself. I am not kidding. And I eat it PLAIN. I don't need no stinkin' tortilla chips for this stuff - it is perfect just the way it is! As I sat there eating it last night my husband had to keep telling me to calm down. And yes, he does know how much I love that stuff. And yes, I did say that already. And yes, he knows I love it. And yes, he knows it is really good plain. Yes, it's probably good with chips too. And you don't need anymore. And yes it is really delicious. And yes, it is pretty cool that you could make it tonight. And yes, he knows it's REALLY good. AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD STOP TALKING ABOUT THE CORN SALSA!

But when one stumbles upon food perfection, one should share one's recipe. And one will try not to force others to try said recipe. But one will REALLY recommend this recipe. Oh, will one. So without further ado, here is one's, I mean, my favorite recipe.

black bean and corn salsa

1 medium to large green pepper (diced fine - about corn niblet sized)
1 medium to large red pepper (you can really use any colored pepper you want (even two green peppers - but i like the color variation) (also diced fine)
about 1/4 of a small red onion (diced fine) (add more or less to taste)
about a 1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilantro (more or less to taste)
1 can (14oz?) black beans - drained and rinsed
1 can (14oz?) corn niblets - drained
the juice of 1 freshly squeezed lime (for best taste) (you can also use about two tablespoons reallime lime juice)
generous sprinkling of kosher salt - to taste

put diced peppers, onion, and cilantro into mixing bowl. add black beans and corn. mix. add lime juice and salt to taste. (see? super simple!!)

usually the tastes mix a bit better after the mixture sits in the fridge for about an hour - but i can never wait that long. serve cold by itself as a salad, on a salad, or on tortilla chips!

Ah. So beautiful.
